You Know You Have a Crime Problem When...

In the District (that's what cool people call Washington D.C.) the police chief had his official vehicle stolen on Sunday night. Yep, crimefighter #1 had his company car ripped off. That's some bad PR heading into your performance review. "Let's see, you had a clean driving record this year...Oh wait, that's right...it's because YOUR CAR WAS STOLEN!"

There's some poor teenager driving around out there right now in the 1999 Crown Vic with no idea the whole force is looking for him. And that's another thing. You know you have budget problems when the Police Chief is driving a 1999 Crown Victoria. That's a 6 year old car. Nothing newer than that available? Or did he think an older car was less attractive to thieves?

Could this be the reason the local Sheriff's office was not able to raid the cock fights, and they had to bring in the FBI?

"A Cocke County Sheriff's Office deputy allegedly used drugs, sold drugs and even told a known drug dealer how to avoid being caught, according to complaints filed Monday in federal court.
Larry Joe Dodgin, 26, of Parrottsville, was arrested Friday by the FBI and charged with possession of more than 500 grams of cocaine with the intent to distribute. " Knoxnews

No, he was not at the fight. He had been banned for choking his chicken the week before.
